Sunday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 5

23 September 2012 2352 comments

Akers

A huge day of Premier League action sees eight sides do battle, with the ‘Super Sunday’ billing fully justified. The Dugout Discussion opens in time for the first of two televised games – the small matter of Liverpool versus Manchester United.

Despite a lot of the pre-game media attention understandably focusing on events off the field, three points for either side here will be massive. Here’s how the sides line-up…

Liverpool XI: Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Gerrard, Allen, Shelvey, Borini, Suarez, Sterling.

Man United XI: Lindegaard, Da Silva, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Kagawa, Nani, van Persie.

Straight after the game at Anfield, we head over to the Etihad Stadium to see the other Manchester club host Arsenal.

In and amongst those two fixtures, Newcastle United welcome the visit of Norwich City, and Queens Park Rangers take the small journey to their city rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

You can follow all the action from all today’s games in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which can be accessed right here.

Liverpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey talking about his red card in his club's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United:

"I apologise to the fans for getting sent off but no way was I pulling out of that tackle in a game of that importance. I am sorry.

"I have also apologised to Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, just where I come from people don't grass people up to get someone sent off."

What a tw@t.

Today is the day to make my decision

a) Ivanovic => Baines for free
b) Rangel + Kagawa => Baines + Ben Arfa / Gervinho

A means I can get Cazorla in for Kagawa for gw7, B means I can keep both Ivanovic and Baines but have to go without Cazorla (unless ditch Hazard).
